Name: Elymus lanceolatus - Phacelia hastata Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: The association is a very narrowly defined community, unique to the Centennial Valley Sandhills in southwestern Montana. Elevation ranges from 2000-2135 m. Sites are active sand dunes and blowouts. Substrate is sand. The sparse to moderately dense vegetation of this seral community is dominated by the medium-tall perennial graminoid Elymus lanceolatus, with 5-25% cover or higher. Sparse cover (1-20%) of other species may be present, such as the shrubs Ericameria nauseosa (= Chrysothamnus nauseosus), Tetradymia canescens, grasses Achnatherum hymenoides (= Oryzopsis hymenoides), Hesperostipa comata (= Stipa comata), and forbs Eriogonum ovalifolium var. purpureum, Linum perenne, Psoralidium tenuiflorum (= Psoralea tenuiflora), and the characteristic species Phacelia hastata. Diagnostic of this association is the dominance of Elymus lanceolatus and the presence of Phacelia hastata in the herbaceous layer.
